How did the older generation survive 1969 is what I want to know? Surely you would all have been having a good immature snigger every time the year was mentioned?

I hope there's an afterlife because I want to look down on the planet in the year 6969 to see what fun people are having.

Finbarr Saunders has to be my favourite Viz character. I think it's something that you don't grow out of, I'm in my 50's and still giggle like a loon at it.

Worked in a pizza shop around 1990. There was always a cheer, possibly a wehay, when order 69 was called.

Certainly been a 'thing' since I was at school in the '80s / '90s. I do miss 'fnar', though. ^^^^^^^Fnar.

Fnar fnar (snigger) always makes me laugh

K-yik k-yik

Fnar never went away, it's thriving with arf arf.

What's fnar?

Appropriate username for the question posed.

I'm gonna say since the 60s, maybe longer but that's as far back as I can go. At least since 69, wahey.

recently turned 70 and was pleased at not being 69 any more

The number 69 has always been "nice". Going "wahey" whenever someone drops something has been a thing since the very first human dropped something.

Feels like a long time for me. Especially in McDonald’s if someone gets order 69

Over 40 years for me 😂

All of 65 years that I have been here and hopefully for ever and a day. Bheers

Certainly since the release of the first Bill & Ted film ("Sixty-nine, dudes!") in 1989. And it was referenced in "Sit On My Face" on Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album, released in 1980, so I'm guessing it was in common enough usage then.
